Sasha Calle

Sasha Calle is an American actress who has quickly risen from daytime television to the big‑screen superhero franchise. Born on August 7, 1995, in Boston, Massachusetts, she spent part of her childhood in Colombia after moving there with her mother at age ten, a experience that deepened her connection to her Colombian heritage and gave her bilingual fluency. Returning to the United States two years later, she later attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles, graduating in 2017 with a BFA and positioning herself for professional work. Calle’s first major television job arrived in September 2018 when she was cast as chef Lola Rosales on the CBS soap The Young and the Restless, a role she inhabited for over 270 episodes and for which she earned a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Younger Performer in 2020. Her transition to film was marked by her historic casting as Kara Zor‑El, the titular Supergirl, in the DC Extended Universe’s The Flash (2023), making her the first Latina actress to portray the iconic heroine and signaling a broader push for representation in superhero narratives. Although the movie faced mixed reviews and behind‑the‑scenes turmoil, Calle’s performance was praised for its energy and charisma, and she remains a fan‑favorite despite the character’s subsequent recasting. In 2024 she returned to the spotlight with the drama On Swift Horses, which garnered generally favorable reviews and demonstrated her versatility beyond genre roles. Outside of her work, Calle has spoken openly about identifying as queer in a 2024 Hollywood Reporter interview, contributing to visibility for LGBTQ+ actors in mainstream media. While she keeps her personal relationships private, she continues to expand her filmography with upcoming projects such as Wardriver and Lips Like Sugar, confirming her status as a rising talent in Hollywood.
